You haven't answered the key point question.

Do you mean you cannot understand your own perception? Why do you think it is the case?

It sounds an empty statement as well as tautology too. What do you mean by "regardless of any cause"? Why is it relevant to the point? It is a fair st...

The world just present to you as it appears. It doesn't tell you reality is true or false. You perceive what is given and presented to you. You must g...

There would be always possible causes when the cause is uncertain. But there is no absolute unknown causes. It sounds like a tautological statement, w...

Could it be in line with C G Jung's thoughts? Sychronicity, world soul and oneness in consciousness.

There would be no cases such that the cause of break is unknown in medical incidents. Not really. Their systems are not denied here. Rather, the OP is...

In Kant's transcendental idealism, what we are seeing is appearance, and the reality is hidden in noumena. In Hume, what we see is impressions of the ...

It sounds like one aspect of idea. What I was meaning with idea was a way of seeing the world. It is all in our mind. What we see, notice, think, refl...

You don't need to. You are free to believe what you want to believe, and that is what belief is about. But if you believe that Australia exists even y...

Idealism is not for coherent thoughts. It is a way of seeing the world. Idealism says your mind, the representation in your mind is real. The coherent...

Idea can be different types i.e. ideas as mental representations, images of the physical objects, meanings of the words, and ideas as resolutions or a...

Any objects or world unobserved don't exist. They are imagined or believed to exist. Indirect realism's problem is using sense data as the medium of p...

But what does Direct Realism say about the existence of unperceived objects? In Ideal Realism, unperceived objects such as the country of Australia or...

You are connecting reasoning process to ideas as if they are necessary, but they are not. You see drink in a cup, and think it is coffee. The idea of ...

If X is based on Y, then X is not Y. Reasoning is not ideas. Reasoning is a thought process. Ideas are images and concepts.

You seem to be confused in the difference between idea and reasoning.

If you have an idea of tree, then the idea itself cannot tell you it is correct or not. It only gives an image of tree. To know the idea is correct or...

I am not sure to say that idealism is not correct is a correct statement. Idealism is a way to view to the world. It is your reasoning to tell if the ...

Ideas manifest when we materialize our ideas into physical entities. But ideas themselves are not matter. This morning I was thinking about whether to...

I think this is a very interesting point. Here we are not just simply talking about idealism and materialism, but the nature and scope of ideas and re...

I recall your OP you mentioned above. The OP could be written in 3 sentences, and perhaps needed 2-3 pages of postings. Instead the OP read like a nov...

You seem to be trying hard to make things unnecessarily complicated. Talking about the existence of the world when observer is not present is not rele...

Of course they are, but we know which one is real. To perceive the real Lady Gaga, you must go to her live concert. What you listen to, and watch on y...

The OP wasn't denying the existence of the world. The OP was about the way we see the world. Both representation and matter are real depending on what...

We have seen the arguments on the dualism all the time, haven't we? Idealism could be a broad topic, but here I am talking under most brief and genera...

Idealism is not about explaining the coherence in the reality. It is about how we see the reality.

Who would it be?

But if you divide the world into reality and representation, then you are back in the old dualistic view of the world. We have been on that road befor...

Yes, good point. :up:

But when I think of a tree, it is just a image and some qualities of the tree in the mind. It is a concept. When I go out to the garden, and touch the...

You seems to be taking the statement too personally. If you read carefully, it says "That sounds like". It doesn't mean that "That is". What makes you...

Faith doesn't give you knowledge or truth. You must work hard to keep up your faith in something you believe in. When it is found out, what you believ...

This book has a chapter titled "Khora".

That sounds like gross dishonesty to keep pretending to know, when not knowing anything about it. The point is that without perception, you don't have...

From my faint memory, Descartes wasn't too keen on Aristotelianism. Maybe Leibniz was.

I have a few old paperback copies by Derrida. It is "The Derrida Reader - Writing Performances" - Edited by Julian Wolfreys, Edinburgh University 1998...

The point is that you don't know anything about it apart from it is an object. And you know even that much, because I told you about it. "It doesn't e...

Where did you get that idea? Elaborate more please.

Derrida mentions Khora as the images we see in our dreams, which sounds interesting. Is that where our dreams come from?

I am looking at an object on my desk right now. I can say I know what it is because it exists in front of me. Or conversely, because I see it exists, ...

When 35 is perceived or stated as a non prime, its instantiation of the idea emerges with time perceived. When the perception ends, and the statement ...

Exactly !! Not a standard definition afraid. Existence is also nonexistence, and nonexistence is also existence. Something cannot exist without possib...

My notion of time is that it is a concept. Can concepts be said to exist? We have concepts, and use them. But they don't exist like trees and cups do....

Not sure if God's existence could be proved using reason. In Kant, space and time is intuition, and God's existence is beyond reason. God belongs to t...

:up: :cool: Agreed.

Beliefs can be groundless, irrational, misleading and blind. No.

The title of the OP "The Relationship between Body and Mind" implies body and mind is separate, but because of the fact body is material, it implies m...

Why is intuition esoteric? In what sense? Do you think it makes sense?

I am not sure if E1,4,5,6 make sense or are meaningful for existence of time, when they are made up of abstract and obscure concepts which need clarif...
